[@slimfrinky]

@Jay Fairfield You need to stop that, and respect the man. Apparently you know nothing about him, so let me school you. John Lewis was America's biggest bridge enthusiast. Man loved that bridge, had a laser focus on it. Always crossing it, he probably knew every square inch of it. I never thought it was that nice a bridge myself, but I'm glad he liked it. I hope they name the bridge after him, because I don't think there is a single soul who spent more time walking on it. I'm a fan of the Golden Gate Bridge myself. Just saying, with our crumbling infrastructure, we need to respect those who love our nations bridges. Growing up, my daughter saw his love of the bridge, and became inspired to become a civil engineer. Then in college, he spoke there, and told everyone about the bridge. His eyes lit up everytime he would talk about it, talked about how crossing it was a symbol to get communities to build bridges. Man probably inspired more people to go into civil engineering than anyone. My daughter wrote him once, and he sent her a signed photo of him on the bridge. Telling you, man of the people, man of the bridge. Godspeed Mr. Lewis. For you I hope it isn't a stairway to heaven. I hope it's a bridge.

Rest in heavenly peace Rep. Lewis. 🌸

[@destinykruse6977]

Knowing the horror he faced crossing the first time and the tranquility he faced his last time makes this even more poignant.

So powerful and sad and beautiful

A True War Fighter. RIP

[@n.k.s74]

Bless him. Thank you. Rest well.

[@michaelsantana5781]

Thousands can go to his funeral. But people who had a relative die during this pandemic weren't allowed to attend their funeral because there's a pandemic. Disrespectful as hell.

[@Starman_Dx]

Thank you.

[@carlogambino8594]

Rest Easy Mr. Lewis. Thanks for fighting for us, those who needed a voice to be heard. I know your happy next to your good friends Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy

[@bornat140]

Carlo Gambino “you’re” happy...

[@genevatillman5417]

Rest In Peace Mr. Lewis!

Rev C T Vivian eternally shares the same date of passing on as John Lewis, July 17, 2020. Also worked with Martin Luther King, and civil rights movement. He was 95. John & C T are free.

Thank you John for your courage to do what was right in the face of evil.

[@helloitsme3287]

Too bad he didn’t step up in the face of evil when barack obama was in office. Oh wait, he was bouncing up and down on his lap. #shednotears

As historic as this event may be, as well the bridge itself and all the bridge stands for, it's a sad state of affairs. I just couldn't get past looking at this rusty ass, skanky looking bridge. Has this bridge been painted in the last 40 years? And the church where they kicked this thing off had the crumbling cement stairs that both combined elements just flat out gave the whole event a grimy ghetto type feel. Just pitiful. And to hear the commentary about renaming the bridge? The way it sits at this point is that you might as well rename it " The beat down bridge"...

[@r.pres.4121]

Time to demolish and replace this deteriorating bridge with a new modernist bridge that could bear the name of John Lewis forever.

Retardo Montalban I feel bad for you

[@sheronpearson]

@Retardo Montalban You were appropriately named!

[@D28TX]

@Retardo Montalban it sucks for you that you don't realize the majority of people don't care what you think, but you'll continue to waste your time trying to convince people to care 😂

[@thalassaraptor555]

I am genuinely curious - why would someone who dedicated their life to justice and equality be considered a "POS"

[@donnahartjen5513]

Retardo Montalban I represent the silent majority and I find it offensive everything you are saying.

[@Garotodagangue]

All Protest Should be Suspended until AFTER Representative John Lewis's Body Is Laid to rest, OUT OF RESPECT FOR HIS FAMILY...... NO MO TALK!

[@travissweat9098]

Sir John Lewis, you and many others put your lives on the line that day in Birmingham at the Pettus Bridge. God Gave You 80 years on this Earth, and now you have an eternity with Him. God has finally poured out his blessings upon you sir, rest in peace, because you certainly deserve it.

[@lori1265]

So long Soldier. You will be missed. May your family be Comforted always.

[@adrianengram3078]

Young African-Americans need to read about about this civil rights icon and follow his lead on none violent protests.

[@CurliGurli133]

Why don’t you....... just shut up!

[@janetplace5536]

All young people need to read about him. The ignorance being spewed here is an embarrassment to the country.

[@darlenejbutler7971]

So Dignified. So what he deserves. RIP

[@Celluloidwatcher]

First of all, my condolences to the family of John Lewis, Congressman and Civil Rights Icon, in the loss of their loved one. He took the blows so that we can have the peace, freedom, and the right to equality under the law. It's up to us to continue the legacy of "good trouble." Thank you, Mr. Lewis. May you R.I.P.P. (Rest in Peace and Power).

[@YouTube.TOM.A]

RIP. Rep John Lewis. I have to admit, in all the news coverage of this significant place that I have seen, I never knew that; The Edmund Pettus Bridge was so wide; that the span was was so high, and that the waters beneath were so abundant. Then I realized, those were the very reasons that this bridge best personifies the honorable Representative John Lewis.

[@williamwatson4625]

That bridge was named after the Grand Dragon of the KKK, believe it or not.

RIP Mr. John Lewis
